When OPI announced a collection with Gwen Stefani, I was pretty excited, then I spotted it in Ulta and blah, boring(see picture below). Out of the 7 piece collection only the two above made my cut. 4 in the Morning is a satin finish black and Push and Shove a true chrome. The nail world has been waiting and waiting for a true mirror finish chrome, thank you Miss Gwen! Push and Shove requires a special base coat, Lay Down That Base, that is free with Push and Shove. You have to use Lay Down That Base or Push and Shove looks like a gloppy mess and it does require patience between coats. I would also recommend lightly buffing your nails for a streak free look, note this is a specialty look and OPI states that it is for one night only.  Cult Nails Party Time pulled this look together, but OPI Blue My Mind would make a good substitution.

Substitution on the playing field, L’oréal Hidden Gems show them what your made of! Now I do like the mani above, but this one is my favorite and the one I will more then likely be sporting this weekend. Picked this one up at Walgreens and layered it over Cult Nails Fetish, which is a wax finish one coat black and bam team pride in quick mani. Hidden Gems is a textured finish along the lines of Zoya Pixie Dust and OPI Liquid Sand , so it dries faster and matte.  I added a top coat to let the teal shimmer and silver sequins shine.
